Warmoth Vs. Jackson neck shape.

[ChickenScratch]

So I'm gonna finally take the plunge this summer and build a Warmoth guitar! I've been wondering however what Warmoth neck shape is closest to that of a Jackson soloist? I hate adjusting, I'm stubborn.

Also, is there any way to get Warmoth to bolt the neck onto the body for me? I'm not too techy and I'm very affraid of screwing up.

Re: Warmoth Vs. Jackson neck shape.

their standard thin profile is pretty close. but lemme say if you're not too tech-y, i'd worry about more than not being able to bolt a neck on. i hope that doesn't sound bad, but that's probably the last thing to be concerned with when you're slappin one together. however, that's what we're here for! ...at least some of us, that is!

You're also going to have to drill the warmoth neck, since they won't 'predrill' or mount it for you. Measure your neck pocket also. I have about 1/32nd of an inch to the side of my Charvel strat that I put a warmoth neck on - the pocked was just a little bit undersized. I'll fix that with a shim later, but right now it doesn't bother me a bit.

Re: Warmoth Vs. Jackson neck shape.

actually, my warmoth neck came drilled. which i didn't ask for. if you get a body and a neck from them, they'll drill it for ya.
